Trevor Noah, the South African comedian who succeeded Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, is returning to New Zealand for a stand-up gig.

Noah will play at the Civic Theatre on September 3.

It will be his third appearance in Auckland having played here in October 2014 and at the 2013 Comedy Festival, before his international profile was boosted by taking over from Stewart, The Daily Show's beloved long-time host.

Despite his television commitments, Noah maintains a touring stand-up career which has him playing across Europe and the US in the coming months before heading to New Zealand and Australia.
